Letter to shareholders

Honorable ladies and gentlemen, welcome to be present in the 2019 Shareholders' meeting of Inventec Corporation. The comprehensive impacts of the trade war between China and The United States, fluctuations in exchange rate and Brexit development have led the market recovery in uncertain sentiment for the World’s major economies. Due to the profound influence of the trade war between China and The United States on the global economy, the worldwide industry chain faces challenge of readjustment on optimization of industrial layout, and the information industry also embraces the severe adaption consequently. However, Inventec continues actively to implement resource integration and provide customers with superb products of core competency on the basis of its strong R&D capability along with the manufacturing advantage on the skill of software and hardware. Thanks to the efforts of all our employees, we had achieved performance growth for the past four years and had more than TWD 500 billion turnover for the first time in 2018. The business performance of 2018 and the business plan and outlook of 2019 are described as follows:

Business performance report for year 2018:

Regarding revenue and profit in 2018, the consolidated revenue reached more than TWD $506.8 billion, 8.42% growth compared with 2017 (Consolidated revenue of TWD 467.5 billion). Consolidated pre-tax operating profit was more than TWD 8.1 billion, indicating a growth of 13.17% compared with 2017. The after-tax net profit attributable to the parent company's shareholders was more than TWD 6.4 billion, a slight decrease compared with the previous year due to the influence of product portfolio factors; consolidated after-tax earnings per share was TWD 1.81, decreasing from the previous year (2017) when it was TWD 1.88.

Overall, the performance growth of 2018 continues to be attributed to the customer product layout and differentiated operation of the group's manufacturing process. Of those, the revenue of the Company’s main product, the notebook computer which was about TWD 232.0 billion, increased by 14.46% compared with the same period last year due to increasing business demand. The revenue of server products was about TWD 181.0 billion, indicating 10.76% growth compared with the same period last year due to actively developing new customers and new products. With the impact of market demand and extreme production capacity, the operating revenue of smart device products was TWD 85.6 billion, which is generally in line with that of the same period last year. Since the overall industry outlook is still pessimistic with a stagnant market, despite having approximately TWD 8 billion in revenue, the solar energy company of the group is continuously making efforts to adjust its resource allocation strategy in pursuit of future

Corporate governance and corporate social responsibility

Inventec prioritizes its reputation and thus operates with integrity and sustainability. Inventec espouses "innovation, quality, open mind, and execution" in its operations and maximum asset accumulation during operation as its business philosophy. The Company abides by corporate governance internally and practices corporate citizenship externally. With its high regard for corporate governance and its various implementation forms, Inventec was ranked among the top 5% of the most excellent corporate-governance

5

companies for four consecutive years of Corporate Governance Assessment. In the spirit of "one more responsibility, one more concern", we will continue to improve corporate governance by strengthening the functional committee of the board and establishing a corporate governance organization, in addition to continuing to serve society, contributing to society, and fulfilling our corporate social responsibility through Inventec Group Charity Foundation.

Impact of external competition, the regulatory environment, and the overall operating environment and countermeasures

In 2018, a challenging year, performance was affected by significant changes in the political and economic environment, the exchange rate, and the business cycle. Despite facing adverse condition of the trade war between The United States and China, Inventec has still managed good performance by changing its operating plan and adjusting its production line layout. Inventec continues to maintain an experimental spirit and actively seeks transformation and innovation to overcome changes in both the external and internal environment and achieve its objectives and plans.

Business plan and future prospect for year 2019

Inventec focuses on software and hardware integration and develops high-quality and efficient products through its strong R&D capability and efficient operations team to meet customer needs. The specific implementation policy is divided into the following aspects:

  • (1) Product business: As the leader of high-end laptop design and professional manufacturing in the past years, Inventec endeavors to continue thorough customer development, improve product average prices, and maintain the same level of operations. With regard to server business development, driven by the strong capital expenditure of major global network technology enterprises and the continuous demand from data centers, this year, the Company will expand its cooperation with strategic partners and focus on designing and manufacturing a new generation of platforms to enhance operation performance. As for intelligent device products, based on its accumulated experience in smart terminal, broadband, and acoustic fields, the Company expects to achieve more diversified development.

  • (2) Product technology: The Company will continuously invest in the key technology fields of ABCD5 (Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Big Data, and 5G), including the artificial intelligence application research center deployed in Taiwan, integrate resources of all factories and 5G application research and development, and simultaneously recruit talents in related fields to develop in the direction of new trends.

  • (3) Establishment of smart factory: Detailed strategies and development plans are respectively created according to four aspects: improvement on production process (industry 4.0), Toyota production system (TPS), lean six sigma (LSS), and production line automation (Automation).

  • (4) Continue to focus and develop new businesses: The Company will develop business opportunities in the automotive electronics and health care fields. The Company will extensively develop product innovation to meet market demands.

6

With rapid changes in the global market and rapid technical development, Inventec will adopt three strategies, namely "customer satisfaction", "value creation, profit pursuit" and "promotion on younger talented executives" to foresee customers' needs, create value for customers, and pursue profits for the Company’s shareholders. We deeply believe that only by enhancing ability, quality, and customized service, our core competitiveness can be improved through the circular system of value creation value through knowledge for the Company to create greater enterprise value for both shareholders and employees.

Best wishes to all of you

Chairman: Cho, Tom-Hwar President: Wu, Yung-Tsai

III. Objective of strengthening the function of the Board of Directors in the current year and recent years (e.g. set up an Audit Committee, improve information transparency, etc.) and execution assessment: The Company adopted the system for nominating candidates in 2017 to elect the 15th session of directors and supervisors, electing nine directors (including three independent directors). All independent board directors will work as members of the Audit Committee, while a substitute supervisor will be installed for the Audit Committee. In order to strengthen the independence and diversity of the Board of Directors. The diversified policy is adopted for the appointment of the director, including basic conditions and values: gender, age, nationality and culture, etc., and professional knowledge and skills: professional background, professional skills and industrial experience, etc. If a member of the Board of Directors receives further continuous education during the term of office, the Company will buy liability insurance for the business scope executed by all directors. The Board of Directors is responsible to the Shareholders' Meeting and exercise its function and power according to relevant laws and decrees, the Company’s Articles of Association, and resolutions of Shareholders' Meetings. Members of the Board of Directors adhere to the attitude of loyalty, prudence, and fulfilling manager's responsibility, take company interests as their premise, assess company operation strategies, risk management, annual budget, and business performance, and supervise significant matters, such as major capital expenditure, investment disposal, etc. Board of Directors meetings shall be convened at least once every quarter, and important resolutions shall be published immediately on the company website for inquiry. The Board of Directors and senior supervisors of the Company attach great importance to corporate governance and the implementation of the internal control system, convening a Board of Directors meeting every month to review issues such as corporate governance, finance, operations and the internal control system, etc. A corporate governance meeting is also convened every quarter, appointing an accountant with checking and auditing (audit and review) the content and indicating the impact that the new laws and regulations will have on the Company, and propose suggestions and descriptions on new laws and decrees regarding examination each quarter, and the Board of Directors will coordinate with relevant laws and decrees to adjust the practice and regulation of corporate governance and the internal control system.

(2) The environmental sustainable management system established by the Company gives due
consideration to the requirements of the government, customers, employees, community and
other interested parties and also refers to international standards such as ISO/IECQ, etc.. The
system includes the Environmental Management System, the Hazardous Substance Process
Management System, the Greenhouse Gas Management System and the Energy Management
System, amongst others. All the aforementioned preceding systems have passed external
certifications and verifications conducted by independent third party certification authorities.
Furthermore, these four major management systems are also the communication platforms
between Inventec and interested parties.
(3) In response to the demand of the government, customers and international investment
institutions on the issue of climate change, The company has employed the departmental sector
based approach of science based target (SBT), and used sectoral Decarbonization approach tool
to find out the target of reduction amount with thermal gas. Given with the fact as based on
2015 as the basis year, it is found that the emission amount of thermal gas for 2025 should be
reduced by 19%. The company has also aggressively pursued green industries, and continuously
purues the reduction of the impact of production on the environment through green research and
development, establishing green plants, increasing energy savings, water savings, and reducing
production energy consumption, with the aim of making real contribution to the green economy

Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan, the Greenhouse Gas Inspection
Guidelines, GHG Protocol, and the ISO 14064-1 international norm. Following completion of
the inventory, internal and third-party external verification is conducted to ensure completeness
and credibility of the data gathered. In 2018, the total greenhouse gas emissions of major
companies under the Inventec Group was 345,830.475 tonnes of carbon dioxide (inventory
scope: 7 plants of Inventec, 4 plants of Inventec Appliances, 1 plant of Inventec Solar Energy,
E-TON Solar Tech, AIMobile Co., Ltd.), an decrease of 8,830.890 tonnes of carbon dioxide

Inventec Corporation Statement of Internal Control System

Mar. 26, 2019

Based on the findings of self-assessment, the company states the following with regard to its internal control system in 2018:

  1. The company is fully aware that establishing, operating and maintaining an internal control system are the responsibilities of its Board of Directors and management. The aim of the internal control system is to provide reasonable assurance to effectiveness and efficiency of operations (including profitability, performance and safeguarding of assets), reliability, timeliness, transparency, and regulatory compliance of reporting and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and bylaws.

  2. An internal control system has inherent limitations. No matter how perfectly designed, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable assurance of accomplishing the aforementioned three objectives. Moreover, the effectiveness of an internal control system may be subject to changes of environmental or circumstances. Nevertheless, the internal control system of the company contains self-monitoring mechanism and the company takes corrective actions whenever a deficiency is identified.

  3. The company evaluates the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system based on the criteria provided in the Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies (herein below, the “Regulations”). The criteria adopted by the Regulations identify five components of internal control based on the process of management control: (1) control environment, (2) risk assessment, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5) monitoring activities. Each component further contains several items. Please refer to the Regulations for details.

  4. The company has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system according to the aforesaid criteria.

  5. Based on the findings of the assessment mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the company believes that, as of December 31, 2018, its internal control system (including its supervision and management of subsidiaries), as well as its internal controls to monitor the achievement of its objectives concerning effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reliability, timeliness, transparency, and regulatory compliance of reporting, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and bylaws, were effective in design and operation, and reasonably assured the achievement of the above-stated objectives.

  6. This Statement will be integral part of the company’s Annual Report and Prospectus, and will be made public. Any falsehood, concealment, or other illegality in the content made public will entail legal liability under Articles 20, 32, 171 and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

  7. This Statement has been passed by the Board of Directors in their meeting held on Mar. 26, 2019 with zero of nine attending directors expressing dissenting opinions, and the remainder all affirming the content of this Statement.

6.2.2 Expected sales volume and its basis

In 2018, due to the replacement of commercial computers driven by Windows 10, the increase in demand of e-sports products, and the stable demand in emerging markets, laptops showed slight growth. In 2019, the tide of commercial computer replacement continues to expand. However, with the shortage of Intel processors and the higher base period, the overall shipment of notebook computers is expected to be steady. Although the growth of notebook computer products is gradually slowing, the company will remain committed to product innovation and is expected to provide sustained growth momentum for personal computer products by Internet of things, e-sports products, and other related applications.

In terms of servers, cloud services drive the investment in data center infrastructure construction, and server shipments maintained a growth trend in 2018 due to the increased demand for data centers. In 2019, the Sino-US trade war has caused the demand of data center operators and brand manufacturers tends to be conservative in the first half of the year due to stocking for the new platform in advance and extension of base period, and global server shipment growth is expected to be steady.

As for the handheld mobile device industry, shipments will continue to grow in 2018, driven by the demand of emerging countries and the additional demand for network communication products that cater to cloud services. However, due to global economic uncertainty, extended replacement cycles, and a reduced degree of innovation, the growth in the handheld mobile device industry in 2019 is expected to be steady.

In 2018, despite the demand growth of the solar energy market, China's solar energy market is still sluggish due to dumping at low prices and the protection measures taken by the governments of various countries for the solar industry. In 2019, the market will continue to grow under the influence of national policies and supply chain price reduction. However, China's solar industry is still facing severe challenges caused by long-term oversupply pressure. To handle the industrial downturn, the company continues to carry out industrial chain integration, and make efforts to adjust its resource allocation strategy in order to reduce costs.

6.2.3 Possible impact on the future financial business of the company and response plan

In the face of an increasingly fierce competitive environment, the Company will continuously carry out vertical integration and enter into strategic alliances to seek new opportunities, as well as focusing on core business operations, so as to respond to further market changes in the future. As for the demand of investment that might occur due to the growth of operations, the professional team of the Company will see that excellent financial planning in put in place through rigorous internal and external financial risk management analysis, allocation of integrated financial resources, and consideration of the costs of investments to ensure smooth

142

operation of the Company. The Company has no current doubts of significant impact on finances of the business.

6.6 Analysis of risk management

6.6.1 The impact of interest rate, change in exchange rate, inflation on loss and profit of the company, and future resolutions:

  1. Impact on loss and profit of the Company:

2018 Net amount of interest
income(expenditure)
Net amount of
exchange(loss) profit
Unit: NTD thousand (606,381) (193,420)
  1. Future resolutions:

  2. A. Interest rate: Despite the global economic uncertainty in 2018, the US Federal Reserve still raised interest rates in accordance with the US’s better economic data, which subsequently led to the rapid movement of international funds and indirectly affected the monetary policies of other countries. Taiwan's central bank is expected to maintain its loose monetary policy in 2019 to fully support the private demand for funds and help the economy grow while exports weaken and investment momentum is vulnerable due to the impact of the US-China trade conflict. The company carefully evaluates the risk of interest rate changes in operating its funds and makes the best use of its capital portfolio after considering both liquidity and security.

  3. B. Exchange rate: Swings in the monetary policies of major economies continue to cause money mobility and amplify volatility in foreign exchange markets. Taiwan is an export-oriented economy, and the central bank is bound to maintain the dynamic stability of the exchange rate in the face of the uncertainty of the Sino-US trade war, the slowing economic growth in mainland China, and the political and economic situation in Europe in order to assist enterprises in their export and investment decisions. Since the company is deeply rooted in the international market, its main exchange rate policy is to naturally avoid risks after debt and creditors' rights are offset, as well as to reduce the exchange rate risk through currency hedging.

  4. C. Inflation: Monetary policies and currency inflation are often mutually reinforcing to prevent the distortion of real interest rates and exchange rates. In general, the central bank expects China's economic growth to remain moderate, so it will maintain a relatively stable pattern in 2019. In the future, the company will continue to actively observe market conditions and effectively control costs and operating expenses to mitigate the impact of currency inflation on operations and prevent the phenomenon of false profits and real losses.

145

6.6.2 Engage in high risk and high leverage investments, lend funds to other parties, endorsement and derivatives transaction policy, main reasons for profit or loss, and future resolutions:

Based on a steady operation philosophy, the Company mainly focuses on the operation of its original product field. Regarding investments, in addition to relevant investments in the original industry, upstream and downstream of the product field, vertical cooperation, etc., the Company does not engage in any high risk or high leverage investments. Regarding lending funds to other parties, endorsements, and derivatives related transactions, such is actually handled according to the execution policy stipulated in Procedures for Acquisition and Disposal of Assets, Procedures for Lending Funds to Other Parties, and Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees of the Company. In the future, the Company will still rigorously execute such matters according to the handling procedures of relevant regulations in order to guarantee the maximum rights and interests of the Company and its shareholders.

6.6.3 Future research and development plan and research and development expenditures expected to be invested

  1. Innovation and quality: "Innovation" is the cornerstone of differentiation, which is a main factor for breaking through in a competitive environment. The group will continuously adhere to its innovative business philosophy and remain committed to customers and partners with the highest "quality" improvements in the future.

  2. Future research and development plan:

  3. A. Notebook computers: The shipment of laptops in 2018 was high due to the combination of commercial and consumer market demand. In the future, the application of artificial intelligence in products will be one of the development directions of high-tech. In addition to differentiation, the company will continue to focus on commercial and consumer models with new technology, break through the saturated market, and increase profits.

  4. B. Servers and cloud services: With the rise of artificial intelligence, enterprises have begun to recognize the cloud concept, which has also expanded the market demand for servers and the cloud. The company has profound software and hardware, R&D capabilities, and creativity, in addition to customized complete solutions that will increase the added value of products, and the company will strengthen customer confidence by upgrading the information security environment. In 2019, the company's server and cloud business revenue and shipments are expected to have good performance due to the new data center demand.

  5. C. Smart phones: The rise of 5G applications has created impossible tasks in mobile networks and devices and driven new business opportunities in both. Smart phones not only pursue speed but also have to be dizzying and beautiful in appearance and shape, such as folding and multi-lens, and being full of surprises. The company has been actively engaged in the

146

5G commercial use field. In addition to storage, memory, communication, multimedia applications and added value, by introducing relevant cloud technology, the company is expected to become the benchmark of the global wireless communication industry.

  1. Research and development expenditure expected to be invested: At the rapid outbreak time of information communication, the future development plan of the Company will continue to move by mastering market fluctuation and understanding customer demands. In response to new market environments, manufacturing process improvement, and technology development, the Group is expected to input more than NTD 9.5 billion in research and development this year and will control the product development and market sales schedule within six months.

6.6.4 Important policies at home and abroad, the impact of law changes on the Company’s financial business, and resolutions:

The relevant units of the Company have always strictly followed important policies at home and abroad, as well as law changes, and pay close attention to any changes at all times. They also actively coordinate and adjust company financial business activities in response to such changed matters. With regard to the promotion of corporate governance by competent authorities,

147

successive issuing and amendment of the Company Act, Securities Exchange Act, and handling criterion for all kinds of businesses, the reformation of the tax regulations environment, etc., the Company actively coordinates to handle such matters as required.

Since 2013, listed companies have comprehensively applied IFRs, the Taiwan-IFRSs translated and issued by the Domestic Accounting Research and Development Foundation are the basis for preparing the enterprise financial report. In the face of the change of accounting principles, the Company has actively carried out training on financial and accounting personnel with relevant knowledge, smoothly matching up with the accounting system. Furthermore, the Company simultaneously maintains close communication with information personnel and coordinates with the response method of the information system according to the change to the accounting system in order to reduce the impact brought by the change of accounting principles in the future.

6.6.5 The impact of technology change and industry change on company financial business and resolutions:

Inventec aims to become a world-class plant. In order to fully promote the construction of an intelligent factory, we are developing and implementing a detailed strategy and development plan from four aspects: 4.0 (industry 4.0), TPS (Toyota production model), LSS (lean six standard deviation), and Automation (Automation). In terms of physical construction, the AI research center, industry 4.0 technology center, and 5G telecommunication technology center were successively established in 2018. The intangible, in-depth research is performed over the five core technologies vital for future product and market development: A (AI), B (Blockchain), C (Cloud Computing), D (Big Data), and 5 (5G). Through hard work, the group is expected to start harvesting results in the next two years. In the future, we will continue to carry out product innovation to implement diversified management and connect with science and technology. For the enterprise’s sustainable development, we will continue to provide customers with comprehensive solutions from research and development, design, production, distribution, and service, in order to improve profitability and customer satisfaction. Furthermore, through the Internet and 5G mobile technology, the company's internal and external environment resources can be shared without boundaries. Importing an enterprise resource integration system and financial consolidation system will improve the overall operation and handling efficiency of financial affairs. Through active and effective financial and information technology application, the Company will assist in integrating upstream of vision and strategy, medium of process and indicator, and down to management information, action plans, etc. in order to take it as the best management tool in response to the change of technology and industry.

148

6.6.6 The impact of corporate image change on corporate crisis management and resolutions:

Over the past 40 years, integrity and sustainability have consistently been the highest guiding principles of Inventec’s corporate governance and its superior corporate culture. We uphold the "innovation, quality, open mind, execution" business philosophy, consider "talent" as our first priority, and "social responsibility" as the final commitment of "ten beliefs", which together constitute the core value system of Inventec. By introducing and shaping corporate culture, the identity of all colleagues of the company is enhanced to strengthen competitiveness. In the future, we need to do "one more responsibility, one more concern". Through the Internet of things, we can obtain experience and share resources to maximize social responsibility.

The Company adheres to a consistent operation philosophy and corporate culture.

6.6.7 Expected benefits of mergers, possible risks, and resolutions:

Since 2018 and as of the publication date of this annual report, the Company has no circumstances related to conducting a merger.

6.6.8 Expected benefits of plant expansion, possible risks, and resolutions:

With the start of the Sino-US trade war, the group has adjusted its production line layout outside mainland China through operational planning to eliminate customer concerns and mitigate the impact of tariffs. How to create economies of scale and production line automation to reduce the cost of production expansion in other regions will be a key factor in capacity optimization. The company carefully evaluates factory expansion needs and future economic benefits in accordance with the market conditions and, by activating assets, thus reduces the risk of idle assets and capital exposure risk. By reallocating capacity, a win-win situation can be created.

6.6.9 Risks faced in centralized goods purchase and sales and resolutions:

In recent years, white label servers have begun to enter the cloud market of traditional server factories. In addition to data centers established in various regions, the company has also expanded its territory to Southeast Asia. With their own manufacturing and quality advantages, Taiwan OEM companies pay more attention to software and hardware integration solutions and thus win the favor of international manufacturers. The company seeks diversification on both the customer side and the supply side. In addition to pursuing quality and quantity improvement and cost control, the demand for different product lines can stimulate more research and development momentum. Furthermore, multi-level customer relationships can prevent sales from becoming too concentrated.

149

6.6.10 The impact of massive transfer or change of stock equity between and among directors, supervisors, or major shareholders holding more than ten percent of the total share of the company and resolutions: None.

6.6.11 The impact of change of operation rights of the company, risks, and resolutions: None.

6.6.12 Litigation or non-litigation cases:

  1. Significant litigation, non-litigation or administrative litigation cases of the Company and affiliated companies in the past two years, such cases that have been sentenced or are currently pending, and the results thereof that have a significant impact on shareholders’ equity or securities price:

  2. A. Litigation case:

    • The relationship between E-Ton Solar Tech Co., Ltd. (E-Ton) and JI-EE Industry Co., Ltd. (JI-EE) has deteriorated due to a dispute over the lands and buildings which JI-EE leased to E-Ton. JIEE claimed that the lease expired on December 31, 2013 and decided to discontinue to lease the aforesaid lands and buildings to E-Ton. Therefore, E-Ton filed a temporary injunction to the Tainan District Court concerning this matter. Tainan District Court requests that E-Ton should provide a guarantee deposit of 0.12 billion New Taiwan Dollars for the temporary injunction mentioned above. In return, JI-EE should leave the driveways and gates of the building (which is located on No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City) in its current condition until the civil action is resolved. Furthermore, JI-EE should allow E-Ton to continue using the other buildings located on No.16-1, 16-7, and 16-10 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City. After E-ton provided the guarantee deposit, the Tainan District Court issued the Enforcement Order No.82 of Si-Zhi-Chuan-Jian-Zi (2014), so that JI-EE has to follow the aforementioned injunction. E-Ton received the Civil Ruling No. 160 of Si-Sheng-Zi (2014) from the Tainan District Court requesting E-Ton to file an civil action against JI-EE in time. Accordingly E-Ton summited the indictment to the same Court on July 15, 2014, with case file No. 196 of Zhong-Su-Zi (2014) , to confirm the continuance of the lease. On May 4, 2018, the Court ruled against the continuance of the lease for the land and factory located at No. 498, Sec. 2, Bentien Rd, An-nan Distrct of Tainan City, under the condition that JI-EE has to maintain the current status of the driveways and gates of the compound located at No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City. In addition, JI-EE has to continue recognizing the lease agreement it entered into with E-Ton regarding the building located at No. 16-10 in No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section and allow E-Ton to make use of its driveway (from the gate to the building). Also, JI-EE has to permit E-Ton to freely use the door and the staircase (from Ground floor to 4th floor) of the annex building (within the compound) located at No 16-1 Ke Gong Section. E-Ton, on the other hand, filed an appeal by requesting the Tainan District

150

Court to handover the case to the Taiwan High Court for another decision on May 23, 2018. Now the preparation procedure is still in progress. On November 15, 2018, Eton and JI-EE both agreed to settle this lawsuit. However, since there is a great difference between the selling price of the aforesaid lands and buildings offering by JI-EE and the buying price offering by E-ton, E-ton and JI-EE then requested the Court for continuance of this trial on February 26, 2019 and March 5, 2019, respectively. The on-site inspection is scheduled on May 17, 2019.

In accordance with the Payment Order No.6096 of Si-Cu-Zi (2014) from Tainan District Court, JI-EE advocated that Eton should pay a penalty of TWD 8,537 thousand, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the issuance date of the Payment Order to the payment date. E-Ton disagreed with the demand of JI-EE and filed an appeal to the Tainan District Court against JI-EE. In the appeal JI-EE expanded its claims against E-Ton asking for compensation for the damage occurred between January to March, 2014. According to Judgment No. 73 of Zhong-Su-Zi (2014), Tainan District Court granted the demand of JI-EE, which resulted to the compensation of TWD 6,098 thousand, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the issuance date on May 22, 2014. Therefore, E-Ton filed an appeal to the Taiwan High Court-Tainan Branch against JI-EE on December 5, 2014 and JI-EE filed another expansion of claims afterwards. On September 29, 2016, Taiwan High Court ordered E-Ton to pay the amount of TWD 48,785 thousand as compensation (including interest), as well as expenses for its appeal and expansion of claims. JI-EE may make a motion for provisional execution with a payment of TWD 16,270 thousand to the court as guarantee deposit. However, the motion will be denied if E-Ton pays TWD 48,785 thousand to the court as guarantee deposit. E-ton filed an appeal to the Supreme Court through Taiwan High Court-Tainan Branch on October 17, 2016. In accordance with the verdict handed by the Taiwan High Court, JI-EE has the right to seize parts of E-Ton’s real estate properties. Therefore, on December 7, 2016, JI-EE exercised its right in the company of staff from the district court. On the same date, however, E-Ton paid the required amount stated in the verdict, to the district court as its guarantee deposit. Therefore, on December 8, 2016, the district court agreed to halt its execution in seizing E-Ton’s properties.

The Supreme Court remanded the judgment to the Taiwan High Court- Tainan Branch on November 26, 2018 and ordered a retrial. JI-EE also filed an declaration to expand its claims on January 28, 2019, in which it requested E-ton to pay additional TWD 67,079 thousand, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the date of delivery of the declaration to the date of settlement.

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Inventec Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Inventec Corporation(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Note 4(g), and Note 6(e) for accounting policies, and related disclosure information for inventory, respectively.

Description of the key audit matter:

The Company’s materials may be obsolescence or slow-moving due to the risk of price decline in inventory, the material prepared for designing products and forecast orders may be canceled or changed, or changed on components and quantities. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

173

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included assessing the appropriateness of inventories valuation policies; ensuring the process of inventory valuation is in conformity with the accounting policies; inspecting the inventory aging report; recalculating estimation of inventory valuation based on the Company’s policies.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the

Notes to Readers

The accompanying parent company only financial statements are intended only to present the statement of financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such parent company only financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

The independent auditors’ report and the accompanying parent company only financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of the English and Chinese language independent auditors’ report and parent company only financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

174

effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  2. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  3. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  4. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain soley responsible for our audit opinion

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’report are Wan-Wan Lin and Liu-Fong Yang.

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces the existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 "Revenue" and IAS 11 "Construction Contracts". The Company applies this standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect, it need not restate those contracts, but instead, continues to apply IAS 11, IAS 18 and the related Interpretations for comparative reporting period. The Company recognizes the cumulative effect upon the initially application of this Standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

The following are the nature and impacts on changing of accounting policies:

  • 1) Sales of goods

For the sale of products, revenue was recognized depending on the individual terms of sales agreement, at which the customer accepts the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership transfer. Revenue was recognized at this point provided that the revenue and costs can be measured reliably, the recovery of the consideration is probable and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.

Under IFRS 15, revenue will be recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods.

For certain contracts that permit a customer to return an item, revenue was recognized when a reasonable estimate of the returns could be made, provided that all other criteria for revenue recognition were met. Otherwise, a revenue recognition was deferred until the return period lapses or a reasonable estimate of returns could be made.

Under IFRS 15, revenue is currently recognized for these contracts to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.

A refund liability and an asset for recovery will be recognized for these contracts and presented separately in the statement of financial position.

  • 2) Rending of services

Under IFRS 15, the total consideration in the service contracts is allocated to all services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices is determined based on the list prices at which the Company sells the services in separate transactions.

  • (ii) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" which contains classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment and hedge accounting.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, the Company adopted the consequential amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" which requires impairment of financial assets to be presented in a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss and OCI. Previously, the Company's approach was to include the impairment of trade receivables in operating expenses. Additionally, the Company adopted the consequential amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures that are applied to disclosures about 2018 but generally have not been applied to comparative information.

The detail of new significant accounting policies and the nature and effect of the changes to previous accounting policies are set out below:

  • 1) Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities

IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. The standard eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. For an explanation of how the Company classifies and measures financial assets and accounts for related gains and losses under IFRS 9, please see note 4(f).

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have any a significant impact on its accounting policies on financial liabilities.

  • 2)

  • Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with the ‘expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognized earlier than they are under IAS 39 – please see note 4(f).

  • 3) Transition

The adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as described below,

  • ‧ Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are recognized in retained earnings and other equity as on January 1, 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 does not generally reflect the requirements of IFRS 9 and therefore is not comparable to the information presented for 2018 under IFRS 9.

  • ‧ The following assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of initial application.

  • The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.

– The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial liabilities as measured at FVTPL.

  - The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI.
  • ‧ If an investment in a debt security had low credit risk at the date of initial application of IFRS 9, then the Company assumed that the credit risk on its asset will not increase significantly since its initial recognition.

  • 4)

  • Classification of financial assets on the date of initial application of IFRS 9

The following table shows the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Company's financial assets as of January 1, 2018.

  • (iii) Amendments to IAS 7 "Disclosure Initiative"

The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes.

To satisfy the new disclosure requirements, the Company present a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for liabilities with changes arising from financing activities as note 6(x).

  • (b) The impact of IFRS endorsed by FSC but not yet effective

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 in accordance with Ruling No. 1070324857 issued by the FSC on July 17, 2018:

New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations
IFRS 16“Leases”
IFRIC 23“Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”

Except for the following items, the Company believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:

(i) IFRS 16“Leases”

IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

IFRS 16 introduces a single and an on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. In addition, the nature of expenses related to those leases will now be changed since IFRS 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with a depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. The lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. the lessors will continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • 1) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

On transition to IFRS 16, the Company can choose to apply either of the following:

  • - IFRS 16 definition of a lease to all its contracts; or

  • - a practical expedient that does not need any reassessment whether a contract is, or contains, a lease.

The Company plans to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease upon transition. This means that it will apply IFRS 16 to all contracts entered into before January 1, 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

  • 2) Transition

As a lessee, the Company can apply the standard using either of the following:

  • - retrospective approach; or

  • - modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients.

The lessee applies the election consistently to all of its leases.

On January 1, 2019, the Company plans to initially apply IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 will be recognized in profit or loss in 2019 and going on years, with no restatement of comparative information.

When applying the modified retrospective approach to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, the lessee can elect, on a lease-by-lease basis, whether to apply a number of practical expedients on transition. The Company chooses to elect the following practical expedients:

  • - apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

  • - adjust the right-of-use assets, based on the amount reflected in IAS 37 onerous contract provision, immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative to an impairment review.

  • - apply the exemption not to recognize the right-of-use assets and liabilities to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months of the date of initial application.

  • - exclude the initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

  • - use hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

  • 3) So far, the most significant impact identified is that the Company will have to recognize the new assets and liabilities for the operating leases of its land and equipments. The Company estimated that both of the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities to increase by 10,596 on January 1, 2019. No significant impact is expected for the Company’s finance leases. Besides, The Company does not expect the adoption of IFRS 16 to have any impact on its ability to comply with the revised maximum leverage threshold loan covenant. Also, the Company is not required to make any adjustments for leases where the Company is the intermediate lessor in a sub-lease.

The actual impacts of adopting the standards may change depending on the economic conditions and events which may occur in the future.

  • (c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

As of the date, the following IFRSs have been issued by the IASB, but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:

New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations
Amendments to IFRS 3“Definition of a Business”

(4) Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying parent company only financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language parent company only financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized below. Except for the explanation of Note3, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the financial statements.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • 1.Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (Available-for-sale financial assets) are measured at fair value;

  • 3) The defined benefit liability (asset) is recognized as the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, with a limit based on a defined benefit assets as disclosed in Note 4(s).

  • 2.Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

  • (c) Foreign currencies

  • 1.Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for Fair value through other comprehensive income (Available for sale) equity investment, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • 2.Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the reporting currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated at the average exchange rate. Translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non controlling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non current.

  1. It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  1. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  5. (e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, cash in bank, and short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • (f) Financial instruments

1.Financial assets (policy applicable from January 1, 2018)

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

The Company shall reclassify all affected financial assets only when it changes its business model for managing its financial assets.

1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

‧it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

‧its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI )

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

‧its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Some accounts receivables are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling by the Company, therefore, those receivables are measured at FVOCI and presented as accounts receivable.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

191

INVENTEC CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

A financial asset measured at FVOCI is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses, derived from debt investments are recognized in profit or loss; whereas dividends derived from equity investments are recognized as income in profit or loss, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses of financial assets measured at FVOCI are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI of debt investments are reclassified to profit or loss. However, gains and losses accumulated in OCI of equity investments are reclassified to retain earnings instead of profit or loss.

Dividend income derived from equity investments is recognized on the date that the Company’ s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes that are measured at fair value, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and accounts receivable, other receivable, leases receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI, accounts receivable measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • ‧debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

  • ‧other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

INVENTEC CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available (without undue cost or effort). This ’ includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company s historical experience and informed credit assessment and forward-looking information.

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 1 year past due or the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls. The difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 1 year past due;

‧the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

‧it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

‧the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset. The Company recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off either partially or in full to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the assets are terminated, or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

  • 2.Financial assets (policy applicable before January 1, 2018)

Financial assets are classified into following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition.

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. The Company designates financial assets, other than those classified as held for trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations:

  • ‧ Designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;

  • ‧ Performance of the financial asset is evaluated on a fair value basis;

  • ‧ A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss, and included in statement of comprehensive income. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at amortized cost, and are included in financial assets measured at cost.

2) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income, and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and included in non-operating income and expense. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at amortized cost, and are included in financial assets measured at cost.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date. Such dividend income is included in non-operating income and expenses.

3) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables, other receivables, and investment in debt security with no active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables other than insignificant interest on short-term receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

Interest income is recognized in profit or loss, under non-operating income and expenses.

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is accounted for as objective evidence of impairment.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than those suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss is not reversible in subsequent periods.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount, except for accounts receivable, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of receivable written off is recorded in the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognized by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss on a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before the impairment was recognized at the reversal date.

Impairment losses recognized on an available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in other equity. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment losses and recoveries of accounts receivable are recognized in selling expense; impairment losses and recoveries of other financial assets are recognized in profit or loss under non-operating income and expenses.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the assets are terminated, or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in “other equity – unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets” in profit or loss is under non-operating income and expenses.

  • 3.Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability is classified in this category if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition.

Financial liabilities are classified as held-for-trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. The Company designates financial liabilities, other than those classified as held-for-trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations:

  • ‧ Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on a different basis;

  • ‧ Performance of the financial liabilities is evaluated on a fair value basis; or

  • ‧ A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives.

Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss, under non-operating income and expenses.

The Company issues financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments and designates them as at fair value through profit or loss. Any gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss, under non-operating income and expenses.

  • 2) Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as held-for-trading, or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise of loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income and expenses.

  • 3) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability removed and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expenses.

  • 4) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The Company presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Company has the legally enforceable right to offset, and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

  • 4.Derivative financial instruments (policy applicable from January 1, 2018)

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Any attributable transaction costs thereof are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss and are included in the line item of non-operating income and expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. When the fair value of a derivative instrument is positive, it is classified as a financial asset, whereas when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability.

  • 5.Derivative financial instruments (policy applicable before January 1, 2018)

Except for the following items, the Group applies the same accounting policies as applicable from January 1, 2018.

For derivatives that are linked to investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, such derivatives that are classified as financial assets are measured at cost; and derivatives that are classified as financial liabilities are measured at cost.

  • (g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

  • (h) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale or distribution rather than through continuing use, are reclassified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners. Immediately before classification as held for sale or held for distribution to owners, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally, the assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Any impairment loss on a disposal group will first be allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities will be apportioned on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to assets not within the scope of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets. Such assets will continue to be measured in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Impairment losses on assets initially classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners and any subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

When the assets classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners are intangible assets or property, plant and equipment, they are no longer amortized or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.

  • (i) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or jointly control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. The Company recognizes any changes, proportionately with shareholding ratio under additional-paid-in capital, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual controlling power.

Unrealized profits resulting from the transactions between the Company and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company ’ s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses on transactions with associates are eliminated in the same way, except to the extent that the underlying asset is impaired.

When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in associates, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

The Company shall discontinue the use of equity method from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate or a joint venture. The Company shall measure the retained interest at fair value. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposals, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method that was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Company shall account for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss (or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the entity shall reclassify the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (or retained earnings) (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. If an entity's ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture is reduced, while the entity continues to apply the equity method, the entity shall reclassify the proportion of the gain or loss, that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest, to profit or loss.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

When the Company subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under additional paid-in capital. If the additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate shall be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

The Company ceases to have a significant influence over an associate and shall account for the investment in accordance with IAS 9 and IAS 39 from that date, provided the associate does not become a subsidiary or a joint venture as defined in IAS 31. On the loss of significant influence, the investor shall measure at fair value any investment the investor retains in the former associate. The investor shall recognize in profit or loss any difference between:

  • 1.The fair value of any retained investment and any proceeds from disposing of the part interest in the associate; and

  • 2.The carrying amount of the investment at the date when significant influence is lost.

  • (j) Investment in subsidiaries

The subsidiaries in which the Company holds controlling interest are accounted for under equity method in the parent company only financial statements. Under equity method, the net income, other comprehensive income and equity in the parent company only financial statement are the same as those attributable to the owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements.

The changes in ownership of the subsidiaries are recognized as equity transaction.

  • (k) Joint Arrangements

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. The IFRS classifies joint arrangements into two types-joint operations and joint ventures, and have the following characteristics: (a) The participants are bound by a contractual arrangement; (b) The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” defines joint control as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (i.e. activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint venturer shall recognize its interest in a joint venture as an investment and shall account for that investment using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, unless, the entity is exempted from applying the equity method as specified in that Standard.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

When assessing the classification of a joint arrangement, the Company shall consider the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the terms in the contractual arrangement and other facts and circumstances. The Company had previously reviewed the contractual structure of the joint arrangement, and has now decided to reclassify the investments in 「Jointly Controlled Entities」 to 「Joint Venturers」. Although the investments have been reclassified, they are still recorded under the equity method. Thus, there is no effect in the recognized assets, liabilities and other comprehensive income.

  • (l) Property, plant, and equipment

  • Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately, unless the useful life and the depreciation method of a significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment are the same as the useful life and depreciation method of another significant part of that same item.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized in profit or loss, under other gains and losses.

  1. Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred.

  1. Depreciation

The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual amount, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings 10 ~ 50years
Machinery 2 ~ 11years
Transportation equipment 3 ~ 6years
Furniture and office facilities 2 ~ 14years
Power equipment 2 ~ 16years
Renovation and leasehold improvements 2 ~ 20years
Miscellaneous equipment 2 ~ 16years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

  • (m) Leases

1. Lessor

Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.

Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.

2. Lessee

Operating leases are not recognized in the Company’s statement of financial position.

Payments made under operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

  • (n) Intangible assets

  • 1.Research and development

During the research phase, activities are carried out to obtain and understand new scientific or technical knowledge. Expenditures during this phase are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Expenditures arising from the development phase shall be recognized as an intangible asset if all the conditions described below can be demonstrated; otherwise, they will be recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • 1) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

  • 2) Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

  • 3) Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 4) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.

  • 5) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 6) Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • 2.Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • 3.Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciable amount of intangible asset is calculated based on the cost of an asset less its residual values.

  • 4.Amortization

Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with all indefinite useful life, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any change shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

  • (o) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses non-financial assets, other than the following assets for impairment and estimates the recoverable amounts for any impaired assets at the end of each reporting period:

  • ‧Inventories

  • ‧Deferred tax assets

  • ‧Assets arising from employee benefit

If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount (fair value less cost to sell and value in use) for an individual asset, then the Company will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash-generating unit (CGU).

Notwithstanding whether indicators exist, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or those not yet in use are required to be tested at least annually. Impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount.

The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell or its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination shall, from the acquisition date, be allocated to each of the acquirer's cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or group of units.

If the carrying amount of the cash-generating units exceeds the recoverable amount of the unit, the entity shall recognize the impairment loss, and the impairment loss shall be allocated to reduce the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.

Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited.

The Company assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the entity shall estimate the recoverable amount of that asset.

An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset shall be increased to its recoverable amount, as a reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss.

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

  • (p) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

  • (q) Treasury stock

Repurchased shares are recognized under treasury shares (a contra-equity account) based on their repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs), net of tax. Gains on disposal of treasury shares should be recognized under Capital Reserve – Treasury Shares Transactions; Losses on disposal of treasury shares should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury shares should be calculated using the weighted average of different types of repurchase.

During the cancellation of treasury shares, Capital Reserve – Share Premiums and Share Capital should be debited proportionately. Gains on cancellation of treasury shares should be recognized under existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares; Losses on cancellation of treasury shares should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings.

  • (r) Revenue

  • 1.Revenue from contracts with customers (policy applicable from January 1, 2018)

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company’s main types of revenue are explained below.

INVENTEC CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

1) Sale of goods

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and ’ price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

  • 2) Consulting services and Management services

The Company provides advisory and management services. Revenue from providing services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The proportion of services provided is determined based on the costs incurred to date as a proportion of the total estimated costs of the transaction.

3) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

  • 2.Revenue (policy applicable before January 1, 2018)

1) Goods sold

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement.

2) Service

Revenue from services rendered including consulting and management is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed.

  • 3) Commissions

When the Company acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognized is the net amount of commission made by the Company.

  • (s) Employee benefits

  • 1.Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

  • 2.Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting ’ date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Company. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Company reclassified the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

The Company recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, and any change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

3.Terminated benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company is committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. The Company is required to recognize the termination benefits at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when it recognizes any related restructuring costs. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.

  • 4.Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

  • (t) Income taxes

Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or these recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, they also include tax adjustments related to prior years.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes recognized except for the following:

  • 1.Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) during the transaction.

  • 2.Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.

  • 3.Initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

INVENTEC CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:

  • 1.The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and

  • 2.the taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfill one of the below scenarios:

  • 1) levied by the same taxing authority; or

  • 2) levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation, or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched.

A deferred tax asset should be recognized for the carry-forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences shall also be re-evaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and adjusted based on the probability that the future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

  • (u) Business combination

For those business acquisitions occurring goodwill is measured as the aggregation of the consideration transferred (which generally is measured at fair value at the acquisition date) and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally at fair value). If the residual balance is negative, the Company shall re-assess whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and recognize a gain on the bargain purchase thereafter.

All the transaction costs incurred for the business combination are recognized immediately as the Company’s expenses when incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

The Company shall measure any non-controlling equity interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, if the shareholder of non-controlling equity interest has the right to claim ownership of the acquiree's net assets when the acquiree is liquidated.

Other non-controlling interest is evaluated by its fair value or by other basis permitted by IFRSs endorsed by F.S.C..

  • (v) Earnings per share

The Company disclose the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as employee bonus and employee compensation.

(5) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimation, Assumptions, and Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

The Company does not have any accounting policies which involve significant judgment which have significant influence to the annual financial statements.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is as follows:

(a) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Refer to note 6(e) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the write-down (write-up) of inventories amounted to $26,563 and $(33,722), respectively. Loss on inventory valuation and obsolescence is due to obsolessence or out of use, which causes the net realizable value to be lower than the cost. Loss on inventory valuation and obsolescence is recognized in operating cost. In addition, when the factor causing the net realizable value to be lower than the cost is disappeared due to obsolescence or disposal, increase of the net realizable value is recognized in deduction of operating cost. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, expenses of idle capacity amounted to $15,535 and $1,900, respectively.

(u) Financial instruments

1.Credit risks

1) Credit risks exposure

The carrying amounts of financial assets represented the maximum credit risk exposure of the Company.

2) Condition of credit risk concentration

Implicit credit risk of the Company is inherent in its cash and accounts receivable. The cash is deposited in different financial institutions. The Company manages the credit risk exposure with each of these financial institutions and believes that cash do not have a significant credit risk concentration.

The major customers of the Company are centralized in the high-tech computer industry. To minimize credit risk, the Company periodically evaluates the Company’s financial positions and the possibility of collecting trade receivables.

Besides, the Company monitors and reviews the recoverable amount of the trade receivables to ensure the uncollectible amount are recognized appropriately as impairment loss.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 71% and 61% of accounts receivable were attributable to two major customers. Thus, credit risk is significantly centralized.

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans and borrowings, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 0.5% depreciation or appreciation of the functional currency against all the non-functional currency as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $120,434 and $113,022, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

  • 3) Gains or losses on foreign exchange

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the foreign exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized, amounted to $821,241 and $(1,405,437), respectively. As Company deals with diverse foreign currencies, therefore, the gains or losses on foreign exchange can not be fully disclosured by its materiality.

4.Interest rate analysis

The Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with interest rate exposure risk were noted in the liquidity risk section.

The following sensitivity analysis in interest rates is based on the risk exposure to interest rates on the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable rate liabilities are outstanding for the whole year on the reporting date.

If the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.5%, the Company’s profit will decrease or increase by $14,400 and$14,940 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is mainly due to the Company's variable rate in borrowings.

  • 5.Fair value of financial instruments

  • 1) Fair value hierarchy

The Company uses the observable market data to evaluate its assets and liabilities. The different inputs of levels of fair value hierarchy in determination of fair value are as follows:

  • ‧Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

  • ‧Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • ‧Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  • 5) Quantified information for significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

The Company uses level 3 inputs to measure fair value through profit or loss, and fair value through other comprehensive income (available-for-sale) financial assets.

Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

Item

  • 6) Sensitivity analysis for fair values of financial instruments using Level 3 Inputs

The Company's fair value measurement on financial instruments is reasonable. However, the measurement would differ if different valuation models or valuation parameters are used. For financial instruments using level 3 inputs, if the valuation parameters are changed, the impact on net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss will be as follows:

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

4.Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is a risk that the Company is unable to meet the obligations associated with its ’ financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company use actual cost to estimate the cost of its products and services to better assist the Company's monitoring on the cash flow and optimizing the return on investment. As of December 31, 2018, the capital and working funds of the Company are sufficient to meet its entire contractual obligation; therefore, the management is not expecting any significant issue on liquidity risk. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company's unused credit line were amounted to $29,069,110 and $34,946,672, respectively.

5.Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rate, and equity prices which will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimizing the return.

The Company buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Company.

1) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (TWD). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in TWD and USD.

The Company often uses the principle of natural hedging as its basis, and proceed supplemented by derivative instruments for hedging exchange rate risk.

The interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Company. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into, and therefore, hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.

The fluctuation of the market interest rate changes the floating interest rates of the long-term borrowings, and thus affect the future cash flow. In order to decrease the effect of the market interest rate fluctuation on to the future cash flow, the Company periodically evaluates bank and currency borrowing rate to hedge the cash flow risk caused by the market interest rate fluctuation.

(z) Capital Management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings of the Company.

Appendix II: Consolidated financial statements with subsidiaries audited by CPA of 2018

277

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Inventec Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Inventec Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ( “ IFRSs ” ), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Note 4(i), and Note 6(e) for accounting policies, and related disclosure information for inventory, respectively.

Description of the key audit matter:

The Group’s materials may be obsolescence or slow-moving due to the risk of price decline in inventory, the material prepared for designing products and forecast orders may be canceled or changed, or changed on components and quantities. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

278

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included assessing the appropriateness of inventories valuation policies; ensuring the process of inventory valuation is in conformity with the accounting policies; inspecting the inventory aging report; recalculating estimation of inventory valuation based on the Group’s policies.

2. The offsetting agreements of financial assets and liabilities

Please refer to Note 4(g), 6(b) and 6(x) for accounting policy and detailed information on the agreements of financial assets and liabilities offsetting.

Description of the key audit matter:

In order to use fund flexibly, the Group handled multiple kinds of financial instruments which IAS was endorsed by FSC to offset financial assets and liabilities and be reported in the balance sheet. The disclosure of financial instruments which are not expired on the reporting date would influence the judgment of report reader.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included examining whether the amount of the signed contract were within the scope authorized by the Board of Directors; sampling transactions in 2017 to examine whether contracts were signed with banks; review the contracts to check if the regulation of offsetting criteria was met; and assessing whether the disclosure of financial assets and liabilities offsetting is appropriate.

Other Matter

Inventec Corporation has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’ s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee or supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

279

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’ s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

280

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Wan-Wan Lin and Liu-Fong Yang.

Except for the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:

  • (i) IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces the existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 "Revenue" and IAS 11 "Construction Contracts". The Group applies this standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect, it need not restate those contracts, but instead, continues to apply IAS 11, IAS 18 and the related Interpretations for comparative reporting period. The Group recognizes the cumulative effect upon the initially application of this Standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

The following are the nature and impacts on changing of accounting policies:

  • 1) Sales of goods

For the sale of products, revenue was recognized depending on the individual terms of sales agreement, at which the customer accepts the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership transfer. Revenue was recognized at this point provided that the revenue and costs can be measured reliably, the recovery of the consideration is probable and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.

Under IFRS 15, revenue will be recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods.

For certain contracts that permit a customer to return an item, revenue was recognized when a reasonable estimate of the returns could be made, provided that all other criteria for revenue recognition were met. Otherwise, a revenue recognition was deferred until the return period lapses or a reasonable estimate of returns could be made.

Under IFRS 15, revenue is currently recognized for these contracts to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

A refund liability and an asset for recovery will be recognized for these contracts and presented separately in the statement of financial position.

  • 2) Rending of services

Under IFRS 15, the total consideration in the service contracts is allocated to all services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices is determined based on the list prices at which the Group sells the services in separate transactions.

  • (ii) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" which contains classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment and hedge accounting.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, the Group adopted the consequential amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" which requires impairment of financial assets to be presented in a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss and OCI. Previously, the Group's approach was to include the impairment of trade receivables in operating expenses. Additionally, the Group adopted the consequential amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures that are applied to disclosures about 2018 but generally have not been applied to comparative information.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The detail of new significant accounting policies and the nature and effect of the changes to previous accounting policies are set out below:

  • 1) Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities

IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. The standard eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. For an explanation of how the Group classifies and measures financial assets and accounts for related gains and losses under IFRS 9, please see note 4(g).

The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have any a significant impact on its accounting policies on financial liabilities.

  • 2) Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with the ‘expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognized earlier than they are under IAS 39 – please see note 4(g).

  • 3) Transition

The adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as described below,

  • ‧ Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are recognized in retained earnings and other equity as on January 1, 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 does not generally reflect the requirements of IFRS 9 and therefore is not comparable to the information presented for 2018 under IFRS 9.

  • ‧ The following assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of initial application.

    • The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.

    • The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial liabilities as measured at FVTPL.

    • The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI.

  • ‧ If an investment in a debt security had low credit risk at the date of initial application of IFRS 9, then the Group assumed that the credit risk on its asset will not increase significantly since its initial recognition.

  • 4) Classification of financial assets on the date of initial application of IFRS 9

The following table shows the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Group's financial assets as of January 1, 2018.

  • Note1: These debt and equity securities (including Available-for-sale and financial assets carried at cost) represent investments that the Group intends to hold for the long term for strategic purposes. As permitted by IFRS 9, the Group has designated these investments at the date of initial application as measured at FVOCI, resulting in an increase of $24,319 in those assets recognized, and a decrease of $633,912 in other equity, as well as an increase of $658,231 in retained earnings; also, the decrease of $12,427 and $10,529 in other equity and retained earnings, respectively, due to the use of equity method and the tax impact of IFRS 9 that took effect on January 1, 2018.

Note2: Under IAS 39, these equity securities were designated as at FVTPL because they were managed on a fair value basis and their performance was monitored on this basis. These assets have been classified as mandatorily measured at FVTPL under IFRS 9.

Note3: Trade, lease and other receivables that were classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 are now classified at amortized cost and FVOCI.

  • (iii) Amendments to IAS 7 "Disclosure Initiative"

The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes.

To satisfy the new disclosure requirements, the Group present a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for liabilities with changes arising from financing activities as note 6(aa).

  • (b) The impact of IFRS endorsed by FSC but not yet effective

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 in accordance with Ruling No. 1070324857 issued by the FSC on July 17, 2018:

New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations
IFRS 16“Leases”
IFRIC 23“Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”

Except for the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:

  • (i) IFRS 16“Leases”

IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

IFRS 16 introduces a single and an on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. In addition, the nature of expenses related to those leases will now be changed since IFRS 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with a depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. The lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. the lessors will continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

  • 1) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group can choose to apply either of the following:

  • - IFRS 16 definition of a lease to all its contracts; or

  • - a practical expedient that does not need any reassessment whether a contract is, or contains, a lease.

The Group plans to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease upon transition. This means that it will apply IFRS 16 to all contracts entered into before January 1, 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • 2) Transition

As a lessee, the Group can apply the standard using either of the following:

  • - retrospective approach; or

  • - modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients.

The lessee applies the election consistently to all of its leases.

On January 1, 2019, the Group plans to initially apply IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 will be recognized in profit or loss in 2019 and going on years, with no restatement of comparative information.

When applying the modified retrospective approach to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, the lessee can elect, on a lease-by-lease basis, whether to apply a number of practical expedients on transition. The Group chooses to elect the following practical expedients:

  • - apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

- adjust the right-of-use assets, based on the amount reflected in IAS 37 onerous contract provision, immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative to an impairment review.

  • - apply the exemption not to recognize the right-of-use assets and liabilities to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months of the date of initial application.

  • - exclude the initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

  • - use hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

  • 3) So far, the most significant impact identified is that the Group will have to recognize the new assets and liabilities for the operating leases of its land, equipments, offices, and factory facilities. The Group estimated that the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities to increase by 2,062,362 and 1,057,756 respectively on January 1, 2019. No significant impact is expected for the Group’s finance leases. Besides, The Group does not expect the adoption of IFRS 16 to have any impact on its ability to comply with the revised maximum leverage threshold loan covenant.

The actual impacts of adopting the standards may change depending on the economic conditions and events which may occur in the future.

(4) Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language consolidated financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below. Except for the explanation of Note3, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “ the Regulations ” ) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed by FSC (hereinafter referred to as the IFRSs endorsed by FSC).

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • 1.Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (Available-for-sale financial assets) are measured at fair value;

  • 3) Liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements are measured at fair value;

  • 4) The defined benefit liability (asset) is recognized as the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, with a limit based on a defined benefit assets as disclosed in Note 4(u).

  • 2.Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

  • (c) Basis of consolidation

  • 1.Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its control over the entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Income (losses) applicable to non controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any differences between the Group’s share of net assets before and after the change, and any considerations received or paid, are adjusted to or against the Group reserves.

If the Consolidated Company loses control over its subsidiary, the Consolidated Company derecognized the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the former subsidiary from the consolidated statements of financial position, and recognizes any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value when control is lost. The gain or loss associated with the loss of control is the difference between: (a) the sum of the fair value of the consideration received and investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value when control is lost, and (b) the sum of the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the former subsidiary and the carrying value of the non-controlling interests when control is lost. The Consolidated Company shall account for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Consolidated Company had directly disposed of its related assets and liabilities.

3.Subsidiaries excluded from the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • (d) Foreign currencies

1.Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for Fair value through other comprehensive income (Available for sale) equity investment, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • 2.Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the reporting currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated at the average exchange rate. Translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non current.

  1. It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  1. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  5. (f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, cash in bank, and short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

  • (g) Financial instruments

  • 1.Financial assets (policy applicable from January 1, 2018)

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The Group shall reclassify all affected financial assets only when it changes its business model for managing its financial assets.

1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

‧it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

‧its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI )

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

‧it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

‧its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Some accounts receivables are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling by the Group, therefore, those receivables are measured at FVOCI and presented as accounts receivable.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

A financial asset measured at FVOCI is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses, derived from debt investments are recognized in profit or loss; whereas dividends derived from equity investments are recognized as income in profit or loss, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses of financial assets measured at FVOCI are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI of debt investments are reclassified to profit or loss. However, gains and losses accumulated in OCI of equity investments are reclassified to retain earnings instead of profit or loss.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

’ Dividend income derived from equity investments is recognized on the date that the Group s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes that are measured at fair value, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and accounts receivable, other receivable, leases receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI, accounts receivable measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

‧debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

‧other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available (without undue cost or effort). This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group ’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment and forward-looking information.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 1 year past due or the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls. The difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • ‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 1 year past due;

‧the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

‧it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

‧the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset. The Group recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off either partially or in full to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the assets are terminated, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

  • 2.Financial assets (policy applicable before January 1, 2018)

Financial assets are classified into following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets.

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition.

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. The Group designates financial assets, other than those classified as held for trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations:

  • ‧ Designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;

  • ‧ Performance of the financial asset is evaluated on a fair value basis;

  • ‧ A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss, and included in statement of comprehensive income. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at amortized cost, and are included in financial assets measured at cost.

  • 2) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income, and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and included in non-operating income and expense. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at amortized cost, and are included in financial assets measured at cost.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date. Such dividend income is included in non-operating income and expenses.

Interest income from investment in bond security is recognized in profit or loss, under other income of non-operating income and expenses.

  • 3) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables, other receivables, and investment in debt security with no active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables other than insignificant interest on short-term receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

Interest income is recognized in profit or loss, under non-operating income and expenses.

4) Impairment of financial assets

Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is accounted for as objective evidence of impairment.

All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than those suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss is not reversible in subsequent periods.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount, except for accounts receivable, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of receivable written off is recorded in the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognized by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss on a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before the impairment was recognized at the reversal date.

Impairment losses recognized on an available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in other equity. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment losses and recoveries of accounts receivable are recognized in selling expense; impairment losses and recoveries of other financial assets are recognized in profit or loss under non-operating income and expense.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the assets are terminated, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in “other equity – unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets” in profit or loss is under non-operating income and expense.

  • 3.Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability is classified in this category if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Financial liabilities are classified as held-for-trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. The Group designates financial liabilities, other than those classified as held-for-trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations:

  • ‧ Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on a different basis;

  • ‧ Performance of the financial liabilities is evaluated on a fair value basis; or

  • ‧ A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives.

Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss, under non-operating income and expenses.

The Group issues financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments and designates them as at fair value through profit or loss. Any gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss, under non-operating income and expenses.

2) Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as held-for-trading, or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise of loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income and expenses.

  • 3) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability removed and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expenses.

  • 4) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The Group presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset, and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

  • 4.Derivative financial instruments (policy applicable from January 1, 2018)

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Any attributable transaction costs thereof are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss and are included in the line item of non-operating income and expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. When a derivative is designated as, and effective for, a hedging instrument, its timing of recognition in profit or loss is determined based on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative instrument is positive, it is classified as a financial asset, whereas when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability.

Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the non-financial asset’s host contract are not closely related to the embedded derivatives and the host contract is not measured at FVTPL.

  • 5.Derivative financial instruments (policy applicable before January 1, 2018)

Except for the following items, the Group applies the same accounting policies as applicable from January 1, 2018.

For derivatives that are linked to investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, such derivatives that are classified as financial assets are measured at cost; and derivatives that are classified as financial liabilities are measured at cost.

  • (h) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale or distribution rather than through continuing use, are reclassified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners. Immediately before classification as held for sale or held for distribution to owners, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally, the assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Any impairment loss on a disposal group will first be allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities will be apportioned on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to assets not within the scope of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets. Such assets will continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.

Impairment losses on assets initially classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners and any subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

When the assets classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners are intangible assets or property, plant and equipment, they are no longer amortized or depreciated.

  • (i) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

  • (j) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or jointly control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. The Group recognizes any changes, proportionately with shareholding ratio under additional-paid-in capital, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual controlling power.

Unrealized profits resulting from the transactions between the Group and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses on transactions with associates are eliminated in the same way, except to the extent that the underlying asset is impaired.

When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in associates, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

The Group shall discontinue the use of equity method from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate or a joint venture. The Group shall measure the retained interest at fair value. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposals, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method that was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Group shall account for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss (or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the entity shall reclassify the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (or retained earnings) (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. If an entity's ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture is reduced, while the entity continues to apply the equity method, the entity shall reclassify the proportion of the gain or loss, that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest, to profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Group shall continue to apply the equity method without remeasuring the retained interest.

When the Group subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under additional paid-in capital. If the additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate shall be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

The Group ceases to have a significant influence over an associate and shall account for the investment in accordance with IAS 9 and IAS 39 from that date, provided the associate does not become a subsidiary or a joint venture as defined in IAS 31. On the loss of significant influence, the investor shall measure at fair value any investment the investor retains in the former associate. The investor shall recognize in profit or loss any difference between:

  • 1.The fair value of any retained investment and any proceeds from disposing of the part interest in the associate; and

  • 2.The carrying amount of the investment at the date when significant influence is lost.

  • (k) Joint Arrangements

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. The IFRS classifies joint arrangements into two types-joint operations and joint ventures, and have the following characteristics: (a) The participants are bound by a contractual arrangement; (b) The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” defines joint control as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (i.e. activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint venturer shall recognize its interest in a joint venture as an investment and shall account for that investment using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, unless, the entity is exempted from applying the equity method as specified in that Standard.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

When assessing the classification of a joint arrangement, the Group shall consider the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the terms in the contractual arrangement and other facts and circumstances. The Group had previously reviewed the contractual structure of the joint arrangement, and has now decided to reclassify the investments in 「Jointly Controlled Entities」 to 「Joint Venturers」. Although the investments have been reclassified, they are still recorded under the equity method. Thus, there is no effect in the recognized assets, liabilities and other comprehensive income.

  • (l) Investment property

Investment property is a property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation method, useful lives, and residual values shall be treated in accordance with IAS 16.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of raw materials and direct labor, and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use and capitalized borrowing costs.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and its carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss. When an investment property that was previously classified as property, plant and equipment is sold, any related amount included in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings.

When the use of an investment property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its book value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings 10 ~ 25years

  • (m) Property, plant, and equipment

1. Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately, unless the useful life and the depreciation method of a significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment are the same as the useful life and depreciation method of another significant part of that same item.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized in profit or loss, under other gains and losses.

2. Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred.

3. Depreciation

The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual amount, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings 10 ~ 50years
Machinery 2 ~ 11years
Transportation equipment 3 ~ 6years
Furniture and office facilities 2 ~ 14years
Power equipment 2 ~ 16years
Renovation and leasehold improvements 2 ~ 20years
Miscellaneous equipment 2 ~ 16years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

(n) Leases

1. Lessor

Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.

Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.

2. Lessee

Other leases are operating leases and are not recognized in the Group’s statement of financial position.

Payments made under operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

  • (o) Intangible assets

  • Goodwill

  • 1) Recognition

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries is recognized as intangible assets. For the measurement of initial recognition of goodwill, please refer to Note 4(x).

  • 2) Measurement

Goodwill is measured at its cost less impairment losses. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill, in which the kind of investment of impairment losses are recognized as a part of the carrying amount of the investment, not associated to goodwill and any other assets.

  1. Research and development

During the research phase, activities are carried out to obtain and understand new scientific or technical knowledge. Expenditures during this phase are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Expenditures arising from the development phase shall be recognized as an intangible asset if all the conditions described below can be demonstrated; otherwise, they will be recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • 1) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

  • 2) Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

  • 3) Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 4) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.

  • 5) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 6) Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  1. Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  1. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciable amount of intangible asset is calculated based on the cost of an asset less its residual values.

  1. Amortization

Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with all indefinite useful life, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Trademark rights 10years Computer software cost 1 ~ 6years

The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any change shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

  • (p) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses non-financial assets, other than the following assets for impairment and estimates the recoverable amounts for any impaired assets at the end of each reporting period:

  • ‧Inventories

  • ‧Deferred tax assets

  • ‧Assets arising from employee benefit

If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount (fair value less cost to sell and value in use) for an individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash-generating unit (CGU).

Notwithstanding whether indicators exist, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or those not yet in use are required to be tested at least annually. Impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount.

The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell or its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination shall, from the acquisition date, be allocated to each of the acquirer's cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or group of units.

If the carrying amount of the cash-generating units exceeds the recoverable amount of the unit, the entity shall recognize the impairment loss, and the impairment loss shall be allocated to reduce the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.

Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited.

The Group assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the entity shall estimate the recoverable amount of that asset.

An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset shall be increased to its recoverable amount, as a reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

  • (q) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

1.Warranties

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

2.Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

  • (r) Treasury stock

Repurchased shares are recognized under treasury shares (a contra-equity account) based on their repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs), net of tax. Gains on disposal of treasury shares should be recognized under Capital Reserve – Treasury Shares Transactions; Losses on disposal of treasury shares should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury shares should be calculated using the weighted average of different types of repurchase.

During the cancellation of treasury shares, Capital Reserve – Share Premiums and Share Capital should be debited proportionately. Gains on cancellation of treasury shares should be recognized under existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares; Losses on cancellation of treasury shares should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings.

  • (s) Revenue from contracts with customers (policy applicable from January 1, 2018)

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Group’s main types of revenue are explained below.

1.Sale of goods

The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price ’ to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

2.Consulting services and Management services

The Group provides advisory and management services. Revenue from providing services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The proportion of services provided is determined based on the costs incurred to date as a proportion of the total estimated costs of the transaction.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

3.Financing components

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

  • (t) Revenue (policy applicable before January 1, 2018)

  • 1.Goods sold

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement.

  • 2.Service

Revenue from services rendered including consulting and management is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed.

3.Commissions

When the Group acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognized is the net amount of commission made by the Group.

  • 4.Transfer of goods and or services

When goods or services are exchanged or swapped for goods or services which are of a similar nature and value, the exchange is not regarded as a transaction which generates revenue. This is often the case with commodities like oil or milk where suppliers exchange or swap inventories in various locations to fulfill demand on a timely basis in a particular location. When goods are sold or services are rendered in exchange for dissimilar goods or services, the exchange is regarded as a transaction which generates revenue. The revenue is measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, adjusted by the amount of any cash or cash equivalents transferred. When the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be measured reliably, the revenue is measured at the fair value of the goods or services given up, adjusted by the amount of any cash or cash equivalents transferred.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • (u) Employee benefits

  • 1.Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

  • 2.Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date ’ on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group reclassified the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

The Group recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, and any change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

3.Terminated benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Group is committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. The Group is required to recognize the termination benefits at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when it recognizes any related restructuring costs. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.

4.Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

  • (v) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employee is recognized as employee salary expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards whose related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The Company shall reserve a certain portion of the shares of its capital increase, which is issued on the grant-date, to its employees. The subscription price and the number of shares should be confirmed at the grant-date.

  • (w) Income taxes

Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or these recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, they also include tax adjustments related to prior years.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes recognized except for the following:

  • 1.Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) during the transaction.

  • 2.Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.

  • 3.Initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:

  • 1.The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and

  • 2.the taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfill one of the below scenarios:

  • 1) levied by the same taxing authority; or

  • 2) levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation, or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched.

A deferred tax asset should be recognized for the carry-forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences shall also be re-evaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and adjusted based on the probability that the future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

  • (x) Business combination

For those business acquisitions occurring goodwill is measured as the aggregation of the consideration transferred (which generally is measured at fair value at the acquisition date) and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally at fair value). If the residual balance is negative, the Group shall reassess whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and recognize a gain on the bargain purchase thereafter.

All the transaction costs incurred for the business combination are recognized immediately as the Group’s expenses when incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

The Group shall measure any non-controlling equity interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, if the shareholder of non-controling equity interest has the right to claim ownership of the acquiree's net assets when the acquiree is liquidated.

Other non-controlling interest is evaluated by its fair value or by other basis permitted by IFRSs endorsed by F.S.C..

  • (y) Earnings per share

The Group disclose the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as employee bonus and employee compensation.

  • (z) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

(5) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimation, Assumptions, and Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

(a) Offsetting financial instruments

The Group’s financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is as follows:

(a) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Refer to note 6(e) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

  • (w) Reclassification adjustments of components of other comprehensive income

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the reclassification adjustments of components of other comprehensive income amounted for $1,213,259.

  • (x) Financial instruments

  • 1.Credit risks

  • 1) Credit risks exposure

The carrying amounts of financial assets and contract assets represented the maximum credit risk exposure of the Group.

  • 2) Condition of credit risk concentration

Implicit credit risk of the Group is inherent in its cash and accounts receivable. The cash is deposited in different financial institutions. The Company manages the credit risk exposure with each of these financial institutions and believes that cash do not have a significant credit risk concentration.

The major customers of the Group are centralized in the high-tech computer industry. To minimize credit risk, the Company periodically evaluates the Company’s financial positions and the possibility of collecting trade receivables.

Besides, the Consolidated Company monitors and reviews the recoverable amount of the trade receivables to ensure the uncollectible amount are recognized appropriately as impairment loss.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 62% and 63% of accounts receivable were attributable to two major customers. Thus, credit risk is significantly centralized.

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans and borrowings, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 0.5% depreciation or appreciation of the functional currency against all the non-functional currency as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $120,441 and $137,671, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

  • 3) Gains or losses on foreign exchange

As Group deals with diverse foreign currencies, therefore, the gains or losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the foreign exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized, amounted to $(193,420) and $(572,187), respectively.

4.Interest rate analysis

The Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with interest rate exposure risk were noted in the liquidity risk section.

The following sensitivity analysis in interest rates is based on the risk exposure to interest rates on the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable rate liabilities are outstanding for the whole year on the reporting date.

If the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.5%, the Group’s profit will decrease or increase by $15,035 and $16,417 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is mainly due to the Group's variable rate in borrowings and time deposits.

  • 5.Fair value of financial instruments

  • 1) Fair value hierarchy

The Group uses the observable market data to evaluate its assets and liabilities. The different inputs of levels of fair value hierarchy in determination of fair value are as follows:

  • ‧Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

  • ‧Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • ‧Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  • 2) Valuation techniques and assumption for financial instruments measured at fair value:

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities were decided in accordance with the solutions as follows:

  • (2.1)Non-derivative financial instruments

  • A. The stocks of listed companies are financial assets with standard terms which are traded in the active markets. Their fair values are based on the quoted market prices.

  • B. The fair value of private equity is based on standard terms and quoted market prices.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • C. The fair value of unquoted equity instruments were estimated using the market comparable price or net asset value method. The assumption of market comparable price method was based on a comparison between the market prices of each listed company, multiplied by using the estimated price. The discount effect is adjusted due to lack of market liquidity in equity securities.

  • D. The fair value of unquoted instruments were estimated using either the discounted cash flow model in which future cash flow were estimated and discounted or the fair value of the recognized assets and liabilities of the consolidated subsidiaries on the measurement day.

  • (2.2)Derivative financial instruments

Foreign exchange swap and forward exchange were usually evaluated in the latest forward rate.

  • 3) Transfers between level 1 and level 2

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The Company's fair value measurement on financial instruments is reasonable. However, the measurement would differ if different valuation models or valuation parameters are used. For financial instruments using level 3 inputs, if the valuation parameters are changed, the impact on net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss will be as follows:

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

4.Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is a risk that the Group is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group use actual cost to estimate the cost of its products and services to better assist the Group's monitoring on the cash flow and optimizing the return on investment. As of December 31, 2018, the capital and working funds of the Group are sufficient to meet its entire contractual obligation; therefore, the management is not expecting any significant issue on liquidity risk. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group's unused credit line were amounted to $57,330,499 and $46,365,637, respectively.

5.Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rate, and equity prices which will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimizing the return.

The Group buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Group.

1) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (TWD), US Dollars (USD), Czech Koruna (CZK), Japanese Yen (JPY) and China Yuan (CNY). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in TWD, USD, JPY and CNY.

The Group often uses the principle of natural hedging as its basis, and proceed supplemented by derivative instruments for hedging exchange rate risk.

The interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into, and therefore, hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

2) Interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings bearing floating interest rates. The fluctuation of the market interest rate changes the floating interest rates of the long-term borrowings, and thus affect the future cash flow. In order to decrease the effect of the market interest rate fluctuation on to the future cash flow, the Group periodically evaluates bank and currency borrowing rate to hedge the cash flow risk caused by the market interest rate fluctuation.

(z) Capital Management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, other equity interest and non-controlling interests of the Group. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The group's objective for managing capitals is to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and to sustain future development of the business by making debts and capital the most suitable capital structure and optimizing the best of it based on industrial scales, future growth development, and capital expenditures needed for plants and equipment. Thus, the Group calculates the operating funds based on the life cycle of the products, plans for the development in the long run, and then decides the most suitable capital structure considering the business cycle.

The Group ensures the financial resources and the operating plan are sufficient to support the future needs of operating funds, capital expenditures, debt refunding and dividend distribution.

The Group’s debt to equity ratio at the reporting date was as follows:

  • (b) Contingencies

The relationship between E-Ton Solar Tech Co., Ltd. (E-Ton) and JI-EE Industry Co., Ltd. (JI-EE) has deteriorated due to a dispute over the lands and buildings which JI-EE leased to E-Ton. JI-EE claimed that the lease expired on December 31, 2013 and decided to discontinue to lease the aforesaid lands and buildings to E-Ton. Therefore, E-Ton filed a temporary injunction to the Tainan District Court concerning this matter.

Tainan District Court requests that E-Ton should provide a guarantee deposit of 0.12 billion New Taiwan Dollars for the temporary injunction mentioned above. In return, JI-EE should leave the driveways and gates of the building (which is located on No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City) in its current condition until the civil action is resolved. Furthermore, JI-EE should allow E-Ton to continue using the other buildings located on No.16-1, 16-7, and 16-10 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City.After E-ton provided the guarantee deposit, the Tainan District Court issued the Enforcement Order No.82 of Si-Zhi-Chuan-Jian-Zi (2014), so that JI-EE has to follow the aforementioned injunction.

E-Ton received the Civil Ruling No. 160 of Si-Sheng-Zi (2014) from the Tainan District Court requesting E-Ton to file an civil action against JI-EE in time.

Accordingly E-Ton summited the indictment to the same Court on July 15, 2014, with case file No. 196 of Zhong-Su-Zi (2014), to confirm the continuance of the lease. On May 4, 2018, the Court ruled against the continuance of the lease for the land and factory located at No. 498, Sec. 2, Bentien Rd, An-nan Distrct of Tainan City, under the condition that JI-EE has to maintain the current status of the driveways and gates of the compound located at No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City. In addition, JI-EE has to continue recognizing the lease agreement it entered into with E-Ton regarding the building located at No. 16-10 in No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section and allow E-Ton to make use of its driveway (from the gate to the building). Also, JI-EE has to permit E-Ton to freely use the door and the staircase (from Ground floor to 4th floor) of the annex building (within the compound) located at No 16-1 Ke Gong Section. E-Ton, on the other hand, filed an appeal by requesting the Tainan District Court to handover the case to the Taiwan High Court for another decision on May 23, 2018. Now the preparation procedure is still in progress. On November 15, 2018, E-ton and JI-EE both agreed to settle this lawsuit. However, since there is a great difference between the selling price of the aforesaid lands and buildings offering by JI-EE and the buying price offering by E-ton, E-ton and JI-EE then requested the Court for continuance of this trial on February 26, 2019 and March 5, 2019, respectively.

In accordance with the Payment Order No.6096 of Si-Cu-Zi (2014) from Tainan District Court, JI-EE advocated that E-Ton should pay a penalty of $8,537, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the issuance date of the Payment Order to the payment date.

E-Ton disagreed with the demand of JI-EE and filed an appeal to the Tainan District Court against JI-EE. In the appeal JI-EE expanded its claims against E-Ton asking for compensation for the damage occurred between January to March, 2014. According to Judgment No. 73 of Zhong-Su-Zi(2014), Tainan District Court granted the demand of JI-EE, which resulted to the compensation of $6,098, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the issuance date on May 22, 2014. Therefore, E-Ton filed an appeal to the Taiwan High Court-Tainan Branch against JI-EE on December 5, 2014 and JI-EE filed another expansion of claims afterwards.

On September 29, 2016, Taiwan High Court ordered E-Ton to pay the amount of $48,785 as compensation (including interest), as well as expenses for its appeal and expansion of claims. JI-EE may make a motion for provisional execution with a payment of $16,270 to the court as guarantee deposit. However, the motion will be denied if E-Ton pays $48,785 to the court as guarantee deposit.

E-ton filed an appeal to the Supreme Court through Taiwan High Court-Tainan Branch on October 17, 2016.

In accordance with the verdict handed by the Taiwan High Court, JI-EE has the right to seize parts of E-Ton’s real estate properties. Therefore, on December 7, 2016, JI-EE exercised its right in the company of staff from the district court. On the same date, however, E-Ton paid the required amount stated in the verdict, to the district court as its guarantee deposit. Therefore, on December 8, 2016, the district court agreed to halt its execution in seizing E-Ton’s properties.
